News, Information and an award winning Podcast right from the heart of Ramsbottom
If you’ve been pining for for pastry treats since the loss of Bartisserie in Ramsbottom, well you might just be in luck.
Businesses in Ramsbottom come and go, it’s sad that we have to lose one for another to come in, especially when some of the businesses have been around for decades.
This time, we lost Zara Cakes having originally opened in March 2019 but what is going to come in April this year is called La Petite Patisserie.

On the 9th of February 2020, storm Ciara hit Britain bringing gale force winds and several inches of rain causing the River Irwell to burst its banks.
Nuttall Park and other areas closest to the River Irwell when it burst its banks were worst hit. This flooded people out of their homes for the second time since 2015.
They’re back! Electricity Northwest had been digging up the road near the Fusiliers from the 15th of Jan and originally until around the the 21st of January, but if memory serves me right, I think it overran by a day or so.
Well, if you missed those roadworks, don’t worry as they’re back for the sequel. Presumably the week they had last time wasn’t enough, or there was another fault elsewhere, either way it’s going to be chaos on the roads again.
Knowing what delays were caused last time, it might be worth subscribing to the podcast to have something to listen to?

Gu of Tea Atelier has been running the shop for two years this February, so I found out how he went from a tea documentary to running his own Tea Shop.
If you’re unfamiliar, Tea Atelier used to be the old TV Repair shop in Bridge Street, as it had been for many many years.
Gu and his wife Michelle took on the task of renovating the shop and turning into what is now Tea Atelier. They had never done anything like this before, they’d renovated their own house, but that’s about it.
I think they’ve done a fantastic job turning what was once an electronics and repair shop, into a cafe/tea shop. This all happened as a result of having a family walk.
If you’re not sure what tea you might like, if you’ve ever felt apprehensive about visiting Tea Atelier, give it a try, their staff are trained to help you with your choice, and the experience is designed to help you to relax.
Speaking to the people working at the site they say it could reopen later today, if not it will be a couple of days.
Access up to the old school building is possible but no further. Access to Carnousite would need to be from the top.
